Whether using Lakeside e-mail on campus, from home, or from elsewhere, the expectation is always that your use of Lakeside e-mail is to further your work in the classroom and to complete projects and assignments.
Possible examples of abuse of the school e-mail system include:
Mass or spam e-mails (sending out a note to one or multiple recipients that is basically meaningless)
Using school e-mail as if it’s an IM (instant messaging) service and chatting about non-school-related subjects
Forwarding chain mail to anyone (chain mail often claims a worthy cause and asks you to forward the message to a bunch of your friends; the causes are often not legitimate. Please do not use Lakeside’s e-mail system to promote chain mail requests.)
Sending disrespectful or unkind messages to anyone
